Oil prices fell again as rising stockpiles of crude & refined fuel intensified fears of another major glut building. Genscape reported that the Cushing, Oklahoma delivery hub for US crude futures saw a supply build of 26K barrels last week. US gasoline & distillate stocks surged unexpectedly last week, gov data showed, crimping margins for refiners at the height of summer driving season when demand for fuels were generally healthy. Turkey's attempted coup barely affected the market as Istanbul's Bosphorus Strait, which handles about 3% of global oil shipments mainly from Black Sea ports & the Caspian region, reopened from a brief closure.
Oil Prices Slide Amid Rise in Crude, Fuel Supplies

The stock market is not concerned about the increased terrorism in the world. But that is a major news driver, even while the Republican convention begins. The world is out of control because it is leaderless. Bad guys are having a lot of success doing what they want. Demand for Treasuries, gold & silver is strong, a major disconnect form the rise in stock prices, while the popular averages remained near break-even today..
